Something is very wrong in the West, and it’s not just creepy men such as Joe Biden. We’re also missing “manly men” protectors for women and children.

With Joe Biden making noises about running in 2020, when he’ll be a young-at-heart 77 going on 78, people are starting to focus attention on his strange behavior around little girls (and big girls too). Lots of videos are making the rounds showing unedited footage of Bad Touch Biden (aka Creepy Uncle Joe) hugging tight little girls and grown women he’s never met before, making awkward jokes about little girls’ maturity and dating, wrapping his arms around their waists so his hands are suspiciously near their as-yet nonexistent breasts, and (which is too me the strangest thing of all) compulsively sniffing and stroking their hair while fondling their faces.

If it weren’t for that last behavior, one could argue that Biden is just one of those old guys who’s awkward around young girls and that the endless riffs that see him positing that little girls are 17 years old or telling little girls to wait to date until their 30s are an old man’s kind of icky efforts to make small talk with children. One could also argue that his hand placement near girls’ breasts isn’t the same as handle placement on their breasts. And one could point out that, until we see all the footage of Biden enacting with children, whether male or female, when a parent is being sworn into Congress, the handful of videos we’re seeing is cherry-picking intended to make him look bad.

All those arguments, though, fall down in the face of that hair-sniffing and face fondling. If Biden only did it once it would be creepy and unacceptable. That he does it repeatedly simply emphasizes how horrible it is. Here — watch Paul Joseph Watson’s compilation:

The video shows something as disturbing as Biden’s creepy handsiness: The girls’ fathers passively accept or passively sort-of block Biden’s aggressive behavior towards their daughters. One father tells his daughter (and warns Biden?) that he’ll be close by. But mostly, they just grin uncomfortably. The only man who seems to have been at all assertive in blocking Biden is Jeff Sessions, whom Watson does not include in the above video. Here’s footage of Sessions gently pushing Biden’s hand away from his granddaughter:

Can you smell something a bit Apocalyptic in the air? Things are getting fraught as the Left pushes the social and political system closer to the edge.

Our we at end times? I’ve got a few well-written, fact-laden posts to share with you here, all of which are quite worried that the Left is building up to something apocalyptic:

Victor Davis Hanson, who is no hysteric, looks at the concatenation of a deep state doing anything to preserve its power, an openly post-truth media (that my Progressive friends nevertheless believe absolutely no matter how often its proved wrong), and a Democrat party that’s determined to destroy the duly elected president of the United States . . . and he’s worried.

I was alive and sentient during the 1960s and 1970s, and yet, other than the whole Patty Hearst thing, I have no memory of the truly epic violence Leftists were visiting on America in those decades. My defense is that I was a child and a teen but, really, you’d think that, watching the news every night as I did with the family (always Walter Cronkite) I should have remembered something. Indeed, one of the police stations caught up in the violence was about a mile-and-a-half from my childhood home! And Angela Davis’s role in murdering a Marin County judge also played out very much in my neck of the woods. (You’ll read more about Angela Davis later in this post.)

The post is unusually long, but so compelling that I hung on every word. davidzhines reminds us that the Left has had decades to put in place tight organizations that oversee people without conscience determined to use violence to achieve their “people’s paradise.” Conservatives who talk about taking out weenie pajama boys fail to understand the subterranean terrors at which the Left is so practiced — and davidzhines fears that those subterranean terrors are once again waiting to emerge, only this time they’ll include the jihadist obsession with high mortality figures for every terrorist act.

Meanwhile, in Sweden, which is what the American Left keeps hoping America will become, things are not pretty. It appears that part of Sweden’s rape problem might be that, rather like an American college campus, Sweden defines rape to include “he looked at me funny.” On the other hand, you can’t escape the fact that daily life in Sweden has not improved thanks to a Muslim influx.

For those unfamiliar with British events, the top video is of Jimmy Savile, one of the most famous media figures in England, thanks to his role hosting Top of the Pops for decades. It turns out that during those same decades, Savile was using his fame to travel the length and breadth of Britain molesting children — including children in a hospital he supported. Even worse, everyone new, but no one in power, especially at the BBC, was talking.
